[QUOTE="fleiva83, post: 44239"] Hello. Something bizzare is happening. A user at work has mac os 10.3.4. There's a temp file in Private / tmp / 416-4118991f - 84f50 - mm1z5z that has grown to 111 Gigs!!!! I deleted the file and all files in the tmp directory but the following morning the file along with about two dozen other tmp files came back. which left me with 400 mb of space left in my 160gig drive. I deleted the files again. The offending file is a tmp file from a OS 9 classic app, MacMoney, which hasn't been run in months. I stopped OS 9 for now but to see if the problem comes up tomorrow morning. Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening? Do you think reloading OS 9 would be a good idea? many thanks//// :) [/QUOTE]
